Quantifying Splenic T Cell Migration

Spleen from 8 healthy wild-type mice of 2.5-month age was minced, filtered through a 40 μm mesh, washed with ice-cold PBS, and then suspended in 5 mL of red blood cell lysis solution (sc-296258, Santa Cruz) on ice for 5 min and then washed with PBS. Splenic T lymphocytes were cultured in RPMI medium containing 10% FBS and activated using anti-CD3 (553057, BD Biosciences) and anti-CD28 (553294, BD Biosciences) antibodies (1 μg/mL) for 24 h. Activated splenic T lymphocytes were counted and seeded (5 × 105 cells/well) into the of transwell upper chambers (pore size 5 μm; Millipore, MCMP24H48), which were placed in 24-well plates containing 600 μL conditioned medium from KPPC cancer cells or KPPC;Col1pdxKO cancer cells, or serum-free RPMI medium. T cells in the upper chambers were treated with CXCL16 neutralizing antibody (MAB503, R&D Systems, Clone #142417). After 24 hours of incubation, migrated splenic T lymphocytes, that migrated to the bottom chambers of 24-well plates, were centrifuged at 800g for 5 min, fixed with PFA, and stained with crystal violet. After PBS washes (30 min, thrice), crystal violet was dissolved by DMSO and measured at OD 590 nm using a plate reader.

Transwell Assay for Macrophage Migration

Mouse RAW264.7 macrophages (2 × 104 cells, suspended in 100 μL serum-free medium) were seeded into the of transwell upper chambers (pore size 5 μm; Millipore, MCMP24H48), which were placed in 24-well plates containing 600 μL conditioned medium from KPPC cancer cells or KPPC;Col1pdxKO cancer cells, or serum-free medium. Macrophages in the upper chambers were treated with CXCR2 inhibitor SB225002 (ab120895, Abcam) or CXCL5 neutralizing antibody (NBP2–22026, Novus Biological, clone 32B3). After incubation of 12 hours, macrophages were fixed by PFA and stained with 0.05% crystal violet. The migrated macrophages (that attached to the lower surface of transwell membrane) were counted under the microscope after the removal of remaining macrophages on the upper surface of transwell membrane. For the generation of conditioned medium from cancer cells, KPPC cancer cells or KPPC;Col1pdxKO cancer cells in T225 flasks were washed with PBS twice and incubated with serum-free RPMI medium for 24 hours. Conditioned medium collection was conducted by removing cellular components using centrifugation at 800g for 5 min and then 2000g for 10 min.

Macrophage Migration Assay with Tumor Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Briefly, 1 × 105 THP-1 cells were seeded into the upper chamber (3422, Corning, New York, New York) and were then induced to differentiate into macrophages by PMA as described in the ‘Cell lines and transfection’ section. Then, the medium in the lower chamber was replaced with conditioned medium collected from tumor cells, and the medium in the upper chamber was replaced with RPMI-1640. After 24 h, the Transwell membrane was fixed with methanol and stained with crystal violet (C0121, Beyotime, Suzhou, China). To count the cells that had migrated, a microscope (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) was used to image the fields of view. For PBMCs, 1 × 105 PBMCs in 1640 containing 1% FBS were placed in the upper chamber (MCMP24H48, Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany), and the lower chamber was filled with conditioned media from tumor cells. After 3-4 h, cells that migrated into the lower chamber were counted using a cell counting chamber. For CXCL10 and CCL5 neutralizing experiments, anti-CXCL10 antibody (2.0 μg/ml) and anti-CCL5 antibody (2.0 μg/ml) were added to the collected conditioned medium 30 min before the migration assay started.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
